I wrote a little poem for my poetry class...

Walking Our Dog Chloe On A Winter's Night

Your eyes are stormy blue
But when the sun comes, I know they will blaze bright green.
We talk.
Not about Bells of Ireland or lavender dresses.
Not the wedding plans.
Not the mounting debt.

You say the snow looks like coconut
And take my hand.
I drink the warmth in and sigh.
Chloe prances in the snow, bouncing free.

Pale yellow light and lampposts
Greet us as we pass.
They won't tell who left marks on the ground
When the snow melts into spring.


5 more days til home again. Yay for spring break!
